mind. 1t was then too late for one to
be able to see many outer objects.
Dark masses of granite palaces and
domes appeared to line the canal on
both sides. What struck me par
ticularly was the extreme precis-
ion or dexterity of the gondoliers
in the management of their little
boats. Many of my readers have
doubtless remarked the extraordinary
skill and capacity of hanson drivers in
the busiest parts of London, where
these vehicles flash within half an inch
of each other without fear of the re-
hottest accident. Well, 1 think that
the British Jehus are, in skill and pre-
cision, outwitted by the gondoliers of
Venice. When you enter a gondola
for the first time you imagine every
moment that a catastrophe is sure to
occur. At one time you fancy that the
tiny craft is about to dash itself to
pieces against the edges of bridge; at
another, while you are sailing at full
speed among a flotilla in a canal of
some four or five feet wide, you can not
bring yourself to believe that the thing
can be accomplished without a disas-
trous collision. And yet hardly ever
an accident takes place on these waters,
where one is as comparatively safe as
he is on land.-Venice Cor San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

THE TYRANNIClDE.
Something About the First Vessel Built
for the American Public Service.

for the American Public Service.
| Some years ago, in the course of
official duty, l was obliged to visit
Salem, Mass, and during my stay in
! that quaint old town I was fortunate
| enough to make the acquaintance of an
| old gentlaman whose ancestors had all
been connected more or less actively
with the Continental army or navy.
We were sitting one evening under
the porch surrounding the front OF his
modest abode, when he suddenly ad-
dressed me with:
'tLieutenant, you are something of a
student in naval history, ana should be
able to answer my question. Can you
tell me anything about the first engage
ment-naval, 1 meah-that occurred in
the revolutionary warp
1 pondered, thought of the "Gaspa''
affair, discarded it from my brain and
finally acknowledged that he had the
best of me. Thereupon he said: 1.-The
Massachusetts State cruiser Tyranni-
eide was the first vessel built for the
American public service, and her COM
mission was signed by John Hancock.
She was full rugged brig, good
sailor, mounting fourteen guns
carronades l believe, and manned by
seventy-fve men. She was COM
manded by Captain John Fiske, who
afterward rose to the rank of Major
General in Massachusetts,, and earned
for himself an eminent name for
his brave and patriotic services. Cap
tain Fiske commanded the brig for three
cruises and participated in the taking
of eight prizes, the first of which was
the Kings armed schooner Dispatch,
belonging to Lord Howe's fleet, then
on their passage from Halifax to New
York, it being July 10. During the
engagement the Tyrannieide lost one
man killed, three wounded and one
died from his wounds. The Dispatch
was commanded by John Goodrich,
Second Lieutenant of the Renown, fifty
gun ship, then in the fleet The action
lasted seven glasses, and her COM
mander and several men were killed.
Mr.. More, sailing-master, was wounded
and his limb amputated. Mr.. Collin
gain, midshipman, died from his
"ouHuS. IHe DispatcH was terribly
cut up, both in hull and spars, and the
Continental brig had to take her in tow,
and they brought her into Salem, after
being out seventeen days. The Dis
patch had eight carriage guns, twelve
swiveis and complement of forty-five
picked men, trained seamen, selected
from different vessels composing the
feet. This, Lieutenant was the first
sea fight of the revolution, and it oc-
cvrred here in Boston bay. 1t may not
be so recorded in the naval histories of
the day, for, like great many historic
al facts and incidents, they become in
distinct, obscure and finally forgotten
altogether with the lapse of time

A Queer Little House.

An ants house is a very queer little
dwelling. 1t is made of earth, with
great many chambers and galleries,
and all done by these busy little Great
ures! If bit of one of these houses
gets broken such scene as there is!
Some rush hither and thither; some
seize the eggs and hurry with them to
place of safety; others go to work at
once and repair the broken part. While
all this is going on, the ants as they
meet-for you know they e are
very wise insects, if they
are so small-touch each
other with their feelers, just as if they
were telling all they felt about the mat
ter; and no doubt they are! ...
Ants have very keen sense of smell.
This sense seems to lie in these anten-
nae, or feelers. Their hearing is not so
good, for the loudest noises can be made
very near them and they do not seem
to hear them. Their sight, too, is not
very good, if they have got three queer
little eyes On the top of their heads, and
a larger one on either side, making
five eyes in all! One would think they
could see better than we with so many,
but they on't.-Mrs. G. Hall. in Our
little Ones

THE SANDWlCH-MAN

Met on the Boulevards Paris.

Perambulatfng Advertisements Now to BE
Met on the Boulevards ofParis.
The ACKNOWLEDGMENT" is fast becom-
ing an institution in modern republican
Paris. A large number of men got up
as perambulating advertisements may
now be met on the boulevards; some
grave us mustard-pots, walk along with
huge iron frames fixed on heads and
shoulders; others appear, or rather dis
appear, inside gigantic bottles or
similar vessels, whereon the trades
mans wares are conspicuously labeled.
The least Objectionable form of the eye
sore is the poor devil between two
boards, upon which inviting-looking
broadsides have been pasted. In for
mer times, London used to TEEN with
with regiments of such unfortunates,
who for shilling a day consented to
promenade from St. Pauls to
Charing Cross and back again from
Charing Cross to St. Paul's, principally
for the display of announcements i'll
favor of rival newspapers. The sand
wich-man made his appearance two or
three years ago in Paris, where his
placards attracted an attention that
must have proved gratifying to his
employers.
The present is not, however, the
first occasion on which this peculiar il
lustration of peripatetic advertising
has been seen in the French capital,
but in all former instances the reign
of the sandwich man was of brief dura-
ton. What his present term of Office
may be, now that a new state of things
has set in. is question yet to be
solved. 1t used to be alleged that
he exercised strange influence
on horses, and whenever an ami
NAL took fright, the coachman declared
that it had caught sight of an ambulat-
ing poster. This may in a measure
account for the transformation the
sandwich-man has undergone in his
passage across the channel, for in Paris
he is to be seen occasionally girt round
with an elegant glass case like crino-

is most always sold on the muster

said Nellie. Pretty soon, her mother
rolled her dough again, and taking
knife, cut out a heart-shaped piece,
which she put in to bake with the rest.

she gave it to Nellie.

SkIN-CLAD ESQUIMAUx.
Their Partially to Reindeer Clothing
Every Description.

Their Partially to Reindeer Clothing of
Every Description.
The Esqllimau clothing of all the
tribes from the Atlantic to the Pacific
ocean is reindeer skin in some form or
another as component part, and with
most of them it predominates over all
other furs used. Among those I
visited on my first expedition among
these strange people in and around
North Hudson's Bay, the clothing was
wholly made of reindeer fur, not hair
of any other skin appearing in its COM
position. The coat the underskirt,
the mittens, the trousers, the boots, the
stockings and the slippers are all made
of reindeer skin. They are sewed with
sinew stripped from the dorsal muscles
on the back of the same animal, while
even the pickering strings that draw
! the face of the hood tighter around the
face, and keep the trousers up around
the waist, or tie the stockings
above the knee, and the
slipper about the ankle, are
all made of the coarse sinew from the
hamstrings of the reindeer's legs. AS
the hood is drawn tightly around the
face, from the eyebrows to the chin,
with only the mouth, nose and eyes in
sight, it may be truly said that forty
nine fiftieths of the object in sight is
reindeer and one-fiftieth Esquimau.
Throughout, the Esquimau has
double suit of his reindeer clothing, ex-
cept upon the hands, where the mitten
is seldom duplicated, although occa-
sionally done in the coolest weather,
and when they have long journeys to
make in the depth of the arctic winter.
In the disposition of this double suit,
the inner one has the soft hair of the
reindeer turned toward the skin of the
natives body, while the outer one has
the hair turned outward. This brings
the dressed skin surfaces together, and
makes it quite easy to put on or take
off the outer suit, which would be almost
impossible if the two hair surfaces were
together, and quite hard enough if a
skin surface rubbed against one of fur.
Some of these inside garments are moth
ing more or less than the equivalent of
the outside ones, turned inside out, this
being especially true of the coat and
trousers. In fact, by thus reversing
them they are often used as substitutes
for each other, the only difference be-
ing that the inside clothing is generally
made of softer fur, when procurable,
such as the doeskins secured in the
earlier part of the season. The softest
reindeer fur which they could procure,
or that of the fawn skins, taken Just
after the winter coat has been assumed.
is nearly always used in making the
clothing for their children, to whom
they are devotedly attached, and who
receive the best their parents can give
them in food, clothing and every other
family material that is divided among

a Disagreement of the handsome
boulevards And so are those
other walking advertisements, who, in
the place of boards, wear on their
back coat announcements embroidered
in yellow letters on broad backs espe-
cially selected for this humiliating pur-
pose. The French are daily becoming
more enterprising in their methods OF
advertising, but persons who remember
what disagreeable sight such
exhibitions used to be in the London
thoroughfares would certainly be sorry
to find the number of these poor fellows
increase in the streets of Paris. 1t
shocks what every true-born Partisan
POLITICALLY calls 1.-THE harmony of the
public way
There are five or six offices open in
Paris where sandwich-men are re-
cruited. They receive three or four
francs day, and walk up and down a
given beat for eleven consecutive
hours. 'grooms' being posted along
the way to keep sharp lookout over
them. The more ingenious among
them contrive new modes of advertise
ment, which the managers of these
offices adopt. We may instance
the sandwich-man, who, being in
side a box painted outside to simulate a
house, would now and then open a
small window and look out, exhibiting
a nose as red as that of George Angus
tus Sala; while the advertisement above
was for water recommended by all the
Paris doctors to keep up the freshness
of the skin. Another one went about
with board on which was inscribed
the words: Don't read what is be-
hind;' and of course every body did
turn to read. the ladies among the rest.
Still. however farcical as this may
seem, the French are deeply moved at
the sight of the poor wight who takes
so much trouble to find reader

STRANGE DISEASE.
Death of Two Victims of Beri-Beri in q
New York Hospital.


New York Hospital.
The presence in New York city of a
number of cases of beri-beri, or kak-ke,
has re-awakened medical interest in
this peculiar disease. The patients
came from San Francisco by vessel,
and three of them were taken to Belle
vue Hospital. Two of these died. On
the voyage, most of the crew were
affected with the disease, and some of
them fatally. This affection prevails
in Japan, India. South and Central
America, and in the islands of the Gulf,
and is technically considered to be a
multiple nueritis, or an inf1ammatory
condition of the nerves. As rule the
spinal nerves alone are implicated, but
occasionally the cranial nerves as we'll.
1t has been demonstrated with great
degree of probability by Cornelissen
and Sugenoya that beri-beri is an in
fictitious disease, the specific cause be-
ing a micro-organism resembling the
bacillus of anthrax, which is found in
the blood, muscles and nerves. In the
cases at Bellevue the nature of the
disease was not recognized at suffi-
GENTLY early stage to enable the physi-
clans to study the microbes, or to make
any cultures of them. Science.
